Inspection copies

As a service to lecturers, we make many of our titles available FREE on inspection, provided that you are teaching a course for which they may be recommended as set texts.

In return, we ask that you give us your feedback by completing and returning the comment card enclosed with each inspection copy.

To request an inspection copy, find the book you want in our online catalogue and click on Request an Inspection Copy. If there is no Request an Inspection Copy link, the book is not available on inspection. We will ask you to enter some basic details about your course, and to provide your institutional address as the delivery address for the order.
